I want to see an AR15 manufacturer make something like a Dan Wesson Pistol Pac except for AR15s. I would like the Rifle Pac to include a quality lower and 4 uppers - .223/5.56x45, .300 Blackout, 6.5 Grendel, and either .450 Hornady, .458 Socom, or .50 Beowulf.

And then an AR10 Rifle Pac with uppers in .308/7.62x51, 6.5 Creedmoor, .243Win. , and .45 Raptor. Naturally with both Rifle Pacs, I'm open to suggestion regarding calibers.

I know I could assemble these things on my own, but I want matched sets, in a proper case, and a full factory warranty, none of which is available doing it on my own. Since AR15s are being sold for as little as $364 (DPMS Oracle, Del Ton Sporter, ATI Omni, etc.) and AR10s are going for as little as $605 (DPMS Oracle), and prices are likely to fall even more over the next few months, I believe such Rifle Pacs could be offered at very affordable prices, certainly under $1500 for the AR15, and under $1800 for the AR10.

That's already been done.

I would like a Ruger SP101 with a full length grip frame instead of the tang, and a barrel length of 3.3". A gun like that would not be classed as 'dangerously concealable' by the local police, and I would finally be able to own one.

What life is like when the gun grabbers get their way. Pretend to be regulating criminals while interfering with honest citizens' rights, making government all-powerful.

I want S&W to do a run of 4" Mountain Guns in .45 Colt.

I have 4" N frames in .357, .44 mag and .45 ACP. What can I say? I like short barreled Smiths with big holes in the front end.

I would like to see Magnum Research build a slide/ pump action rifle, short action in 44 Magnum and 454 Casull and a long action in 460 & 500 S&W. Integral Picatinny rail on receiver and good open sights. 16 inch barrel. Tubular magazine under the barrel. Sort of like the old Timberwolf, which I think would have been successful if they'd started with 44 Mag instead of 357.

Man I like the idea of a more powerful Timberwolf, but for me it would have to be in .41 mag. This would really go nice with my Henry and model 57's.

...a real tiny mousegun in a modern setting, say something like a Baby Browning with a poly frame and a DAO trigger...

Glock Sub2000

I would like Glock to make a folding 9/.40/.45 carbine like a Kel-Tek Sub-2000, only better and in enough volume that I could find one for sale under MSRP.

I'd like to see a Beretta revolver.

A real pretty Beretta, like a Cheetah, but in revolver form. Blue or nickel plated with wood grips.

You know, I bet they would make a really nice revolver. I'll second that.

I would really like to see S&W get rid of the stupid lock and the funky trigger action that comes with it. ARE YOU LISTENING S&W?

Bring back the Colt revolvers. I will buy them but not at the prices they sell for used. They are not THAT nice.

More 10mm pistol options would be nice. And revolvers too.
More 454 Casull revolvers.

More and better quality wood stocks on rifles, I know it's expensive but a good stock and bluing just makes a rifle so sweet.

I could go on.....
